Celebrating Preaching Donkey’s 1st Birthday Today!
One year ago today I published the first post ever on Preaching Donkey.com! Happy Birthday, Preaching Donkey! When I started this blog I had finally found a niche I was interested enough to stick with. There were plenty of resources on preaching available, but none that I could tell that focused entirely on communicating as preachers. I had plenty of ideas on the topic from experience, trial, and error. I wanted to share my thoughts on what works and what doesn’t when it comes to preaching.
After a few weeks of figuring out how to start a blog, Preaching Donkey was born. Next week I want to show you how to start a blog of your own. I think every preacher who has a message to communicate should blog with some consistency. In the next post I’ll show you how to get started.
I had no idea what this project would turn into in one year’s time. So for today, I want to share the progress with you. You are why Preaching Donkey has lasted a year. Thanks for reading, listening and contributing to the conversation.

What’s Next?
Look for more resources on the blog and podcast every week. Also, the book is coming! I’m writing a book on preaching, and it is in the editing stages now and will be released in a few months. I’ll make sure you hear about it!
Thanks so much for a great year. Please post below what preaching topics/questions you would like us to cover in the coming year.
